You should have the vehicles suspension system inspected. Often, a broken trailing or control arm in the rear may render the vehicle unstable at higher speeds. Also look into rear shocks and stabilizer links. Consider hiring an experienced technician like one from YourMechanic who can come out and take a closer look at your vehicles suspension system to offer a more personal diagnosis.
